Can Xabi Alonso’s Master Plan Rescue Chelsea from Crisis and Ignite a Stunning Comeback?
Chelsea head into the new Premier League season with genuine optimism after one of the busiest summers in their recent history.
A disappointing 10th-place finish in 2025/26 ended any hopes of European football, but it also prompted another major reset at Stamford Bridge.
The club turned to Xabi Alonso, whose impressive work at Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid made him one of the most sought-after coaches in Europe, with the Spaniard tasked with restoring Chelsea to the top end of the table.
Alonso has wasted little time stamping his authority on the squad. Chelsea have spent heavily once again, but unlike previous windows, there has been a clear emphasis on adding players who fit a defined tactical identity.
